A Low-volume Hydroponic Protocol for Maize and A Sensitive Bud-length Assay for Root-to-Shoot Impacts of The Strigolactone Analog, rac-GR24

Authors: Jiahn-Chou Guan and Karen E. Koch, date: 08/20/2020, view: 547, Q&A: 0

Hydroponic approaches have been a boon for root research by facilitating root-feeding studies as well as secretion analysis. Results have aided our understanding of root-shoot signaling, transport, hormone function and more. However, existing ...

In vitro Conditions for Dark Growth and Analysis of Maize Seedlings

Authors: Jeffrey Farrow, Marschal A. Bellinger and Carolyn G. Rasmussen, date: 03/20/2020, view: 1020, Q&A: 0

Maize is an important model organism for understanding plant traits essential for proper growth and germination. One type of growth, skotomorphogenesis, occurs in the absence of light. Seedlings grown in the absence of light exhibit dramatic ...

Hormone Treatments during Maize Vegetative and Reproductive Development

Authors: María Jazmín Abraham-Juárez and Harry Klein, date: 05/20/2019, view: 1817, Q&A: 0

Plant hormones are a group of organic natural compounds that can influence physiological processes when present at low concentrations. Plant biologists frequently use exogenous hormone application to modify plant physiology or to rescue mutants with ...

A Simplified Hydroponic Culture of Arabidopsis

Authors: Houqing Zeng, Chao Xia, Cankui Zhang and Li-Qing Chen, date: 12/20/2018, view: 6177, Q&A: 0

Hydroponic culture systems are widely used in research due to their intrinsic properties, such as easily altering nutrient composition, applying chemical treatments like metal, salt and hormones in the growth media, and collecting the root sample. ...

Protocol to Test the Effect of Sorbitol in vitro on Hybrid Larch (Larix x eurolepis Henry) Emblings

Authors: Bettina Johst and María del Carmen Dacasa Rüdinger, date: 07/20/2018, view: 2831, Q&A: 0

This protocol presents a method to test the effect of sorbitol in vitro on hybrid larch plants derived from somatic embryogenesis. We have tested four different media variants, one control variant without sorbitol and three variants of ...

Growing and Pollinating Maize

Authors: Sarah Hake and China Lunde, date: 05/05/2018, view: 3427, Q&A: 0

[Abstract] Corn, also known as maize, has been a model organism for genetics since the 1900’s due to the ease of pollinations, large ...

Arabidopsis Growing Protocol – A General Guide

Author: Xiyan Li, date: 09/05/2011, view: 32668, Q&A: 1

Arabidopsis as the model organism for higher plants is widely studied among plant biology labs around the world. However, taking care of this tiny plant may not be trivial. Here is a general guide used for the Heven Sze lab at the University of ...
